Trump didn’t visit Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day in 2018, when he was president. But he visited it today in a shameful political attempt to deflect all the revived reports of his life-long disdain for military service and those patriots who died defending the USA.
Arlington National Cemetery has rules for visitors. Among them is this rule:
(2.) Partisan activities are inappropriate in Arlington National Cemetery, due to its role as a shrine to all the honored dead of the Armed Forces of the United States and out of respect for the men and women buried there and for their families. Services or any activities inside the Cemetery connected therewith shall not be partisan in nature. A service is partisan and therefore inappropriate if it includes commentary support of, or in opposition to, or attempts to influence any current policy of the Armed Forces, the Government of the United States or any state of the United States; if it endorses the cause of a political party or if it has a primary purpose to gain publicity or engender support for any cause. If a service is closely related, both time and location, to partisan activities or demonstrations being conducted outside the Cemetery, it will be determined partisan and therefore inappropriate. If a service is determined to be partisan by the Executive Director, permission to conduct memorial services or ceremonies at the Cemetery will be denied.
“If it endorses the cause of a political party.” CHECK
“if it has a primary purpose to gain publicity” CHECK
How did President Bone Spurs get approval for this disgrace? Who disregarded Arlington’s policy for political reasons?
Heads should roll. This is NOT tolerable.
And what moron shows “thumbs up” at a cemetery?
